The Bluebird Bio product Zynteglo, a gene therapy used to treat beta-thalassemia in patients, received FDA approval on Wednesday.

 

Why it’s important The one-time procedure, which aids patients whose life expectancy is shortened by recurrent blood transfusions, costs a record-breaking $2.8 million.

 

It is the third FDA-approved gene therapy to date.
Approximately 1,300 to 1,500 people are thought to have beta-thalassemia, also referred to as beti-cel, according to Bluebird.

 

The business intends to employ an outcome-based agreement and has promised to refund insurers for up to 80% of the therapy’s cost for those patients who require routine transfusions even after receiving treatment.

What they say is this: Despite having a price tag of more than $2 million, the medicine has a high long-term value, according to a statement from the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, an organization that assesses drug pricing and effectiveness.

 

The bottom line is that gene treatments hold great potential for the treatment of uncommon disorders. However, they have so far proven to be expensive, and the expanding list of these treatments could result in astronomical health care costs.

The Fed’s unwelcome ally in the fight against inflation: the credit crisis.

The Federal Reserve is getting some unwelcome assistance in its efforts to slow the US economy and combat the worst spell of inflation in four decades: a reduction in bank lending. The financial sector turmoil caused by the failure of two large US banks increases the chance that lending criteria will become far more stringent.  Consumers and corporations would spend less if there were fewer loans.  This, in turn, would make it more difficult for businesses to raise prices, lessening inflationary pressures. At the same time, other experts are concerned that the downturn may be so severe that the economy will enter a terrible recession.   The Federal Reserve hiked its key interest rate for the eighth time in less than a year on Wednesday.  The central bank's officials are grappling with persistently rising inflation, which has befuddled American people and heightened the economic uncertainty.  At over 6%, US inflation is significantly below last year's peak while still substantially beyond the Fed's 2% annual objective.   Nevertheless, the Fed also hinted that it may be nearing the end of its rate rises.  This is due, in part, to the fact that a decrease in bank lending might assist the central bank accomplish its broader aim of slowing the economy and containing inflation. At a press conference following the Fed's announcement on Wednesday, Chair Jerome Powell warned that tighter lending criteria, resulting in a retreat in loans, may have the same dampening effect on inflation as a Fed raise.   "It doesn't have to completely come through rate increases," Powell added.  "That might be due to stricter financial conditions."  ...
